Canadians are really dumb about culture and media.
We suck up enemy culture and military propoghanda packaged as "local" television and media.
We suck it right up.
We believe that the CBC will inform us of anything wrong,
and the American way of making television
where its all about the products being sold during the commercials
and the toys or spinoffs
We're fine with that.
Every year 40,000+ university and college students in Canada
get into debt for $30k-$50k
to take film or video production
book and magazine production
fine art
but there is nowhere for them to show their work
they can't get jobs "in the industry"
unless they suck some wealthy producer's cock
or suck up
to "the union"
Why?
Broadcast television is changing
we had 13 channels for 60+ years
soon we will have 500 channels of digital high def broadcast
broadcast, not cable, not wired
no subscription or monthly fees
just pick it up on our new devices
out of the air
So why does the CRTC
allow american "production crews"
to control our "Canadian Productions"?
Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica, Outer limits, Fringe
yes sir, yes sir,
its
"Canadian"
but its not depicting Canada
it's depicting American soldiers, guns, war, American CIA, cops, the "good guys"
If its not the military
it's organized crime
laundering drug money
and glorifying gangsterism
and meanwhile
while they flood our televisions
with military designed shows and gangster shite
programming our children
our own children's stories
and films
are nowhere to be seen
nowhere.
Why?
Once we finally convert to digital broadcasting
We need to assert our own local cultures
We needto pay attention
because media
and culture
are important
Canada could be exporting a lot of progressive media and culture
not repackaging american shit
and pretending its "canadian"
When we get our new digital broadcast
what we NEED to do,
as a culture
is make sure its ours
and that OUR PEOPLE
can make and show
THEIR STORIES
Instead of Global, City, Shaw, Rogers being at the front of the channels
we need to make the first 20 channels
COMPLETELY LOCAL
100% local
There should be a channel
that every high school and university and college
in every city
can package their own shows and school plays
and have them aired
There should be a news channel
that is every journalism student in an area
every school with its own half hour news show
a multitude of LOCAL canadian views and opinions
the productions of YOUNG CANADIANS
there should be a channel with LOCAL authors
reading their short stories and poems
another channel that LOCAL bands
from each city
can have their songs and videos played
for over a decade the fascists took over our airwaves
consolidating the central control of all voices
saving the world from "the terrorists"
while terrorizing all of us
with singular fascist viewpoints
Christian fascists are as evil as any taliban empire
they hate other viewpoints
if you let people tell their own stories
God will become secondary
and the foolish canadians might come to realize
how badly they are being screwed
when over 40%
of the population
lives in poverty
in a country that exports
oil, wood, uranium, wheat
every city should have 20 channels
of local NON-CORPORATE media
so we can watch the people of OUR cities
we can watch stories of OUR cities
because no one needs another Canadian made show
about police in New York
or gangs in L.A.
